We really enjoyed staying here. The location was nice, close to restaurants and luxemburg gardens but still tucked away so it was nice and quiet. The hotel breakfast was perfect for us before we started our day. The highlight was the staff, all were so friendly and always willing to help. Every person we interacted with was lovely.

Super cute hotel. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was nice. Although the rooms were very small. I did like how the windows opened to the courtyard and it was walking distance to so many cute cafes and restaurants.

My 3 night stay was very good. Loved the location in the 6th district. Felt very safe walking around on my own. The room was great, quite spacious with lots of storage space on each side of the bed. The bathroom was also modern and spacious with a window. Loved the large poster of Marilyn Monroe above the bed which reflected on the bathroom mirror.

Christmas in Paris!

Great location. Very hospitable staff. Great having breakfast included and free soft drinks in the room. Hot drinks available all day in the lounge. Rooms are not huge but are adequate, all I would have liked is some carpet. Would recommend.
